In the recent past, the cricket fraternity has seen the emergence of a complete middle-order batsman in the form of Suryakumar Yadav. What makes Yadav a perfect fit for the shortest format of the game is his ability to do both, anchor the innings and play a quickfire knock by hitting boundaries and sixes. Suryakumar has been in sublime form in the Indian Premier League as the 30-year-old has a stunning 2197 runs under his belt in 108 matches at a strike rate of 135.3.

In March 2021, the right-handed batsman also received his maiden call-up to the Indian team as he featured in three T20Is of the five-match series against England. In the two innings, the Mumbai-born collected 89 runs, and that has made him a potential pick for India’s T20I team. 

Playing for India will only help Surya in enriching his experiences, and will also increase his value on the auction table. Yadav has been plying his trade for five-time champion Mumbai Indians (MI) but despite his spectacular performance, the franchise is unlikely to retain him as they will prefer keeping Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah.
